| Summary:
The Sliders arrive in a town that seems like the Happiest
Spot in the World, right down to a main street with popcorn and cotton candy vendors. But
there's one person in this place who isn't happy: a little girl who has just seen her
grandfather leap into the Chasm, a pit seething with unknown energy. Rembrandt befriends
the girl but soon learns that her misery comes from far more than witnessing her
grandfather's fate: When she in turn hurls herself into the Chasm, Rembrandt is struck by
a bio-energy bolt that transfers her burden -- all the sorrows and fears of the whole town
-- to him, torturing him with depression and paranoid hallucinations. Meanwhile, the other
Sliders are overcome with feelings of well-being, especially a blissful Quinn who seems
ready to stop sliding and stay on this Earth forever. |
